James Mitchell Returns to Panthers on One-Year Deal

Wednesday, March 11, 9:28 AM

The Carolina Panthers re-signed tight end James Mitchell to an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday, a league source told Joseph Person of The Athletic. Mitchell was a restricted free agent. Mitchell will return to Carolina for a second season in 2026 after catching all three of his targets for 28 yards in just five games played a year ago. The 26-year-old was drafted in the fifth round (177th overall) by the Detroit Lions in 2022 out of Virginia Tech. In his first three years in the league in Detroit, Mitchell had 13 receptions on 13 targets for 141 yards and one touchdown in 29 games played (one start). He is not anywhere close to fantasy relevance in Carolina and will serve in a depth role at TE once again behind the likes of Ja'Tavion Sanders, Tommy Tremble, and Mitchell Evans.

Keleki Latu News

Keleki Latu Elevated for Week 13

Saturday, November 29, 6:25 PM

Buffalo Bills tight end Keleki Latu was elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This is noteworthy given fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) is currently considered questionable to suit up this weekend. The only other times that Latu has been elevated are the games that Kincaid has missed, which are the previous two contests. All signs are pointing to Kincaid missing a third straight game, but fantasy managers will likely have to wait until Sunday for official confirmation. If Kincaid sits, Latu won't be fantasy relevant as Dawson Knox would take over as the primary tight end.
